HOW TO USE YOUR COMPOSTER
First, select the location to install your composter that is convenient to move materials to
and from, usually close to a garden. Choose a at surface with enough room to be able to
accommodate rotation of the composter. Be sure the location has direct sunlight.
The composter world best by mixing moist nitrogen rich greens with dry, carbon rich
browns. A ratio of approximately 2 parts greens to 1 part brown.
Examples of greens and browns are:

HOW TO USE YOUR COMPOSTER

BATCH COMPOSTING
Checking the process: After 2 or 3 days, check your mix to see if it is getting hot, the
benecial organisms are multiplying and doing the job decomposing materials. Turning
the composter 5-10 times every 2 or 3 days will mix the materials and keep the process
active. Squeeze a handful of compost to ensure the materials are not drying out. If it
feels like a damp sponge, the water level is ne, and feels dry, add a little more water.
Don’t add too much. Turn the composter to mix well.
Depending on the materials added to your compost should be ready in 2 to 8 weeks.
Finished compost will contain ne and coarse material. For a ne blend, sift the compost
to use in potting mixes. Use the more coarse compost as a nutritious top-dressing
around outdoor plantings or till directly into your garden. You may also use nished
compost as a starter for your next batch, or to heat up a batch that cooled too quickly.

MAINTENANCE
7
To remove the nished compost, turn the barrel of the composter so the door is facing
the ground and slide the door away from the chamber you want to empty. Make sure part
of the door is still covering the unnished side, which may not be ready to be emptied.
COMPOSTING TIPS:
Three rules for composting:
1. Quality materials and proper ratio of greens (Nitrogen) to browns (Carbon)
approximately, two parts green to two parts brown.
2. Consistent moisture. Mix should feel like a damp sponge.
3. Good air circulation. Turn the composter every few days after the batch heats up to
help aerate the mix and encourage faster decomposition.
GRASS-CYCLING: Leave grass clippings on your lawn or use them as mulch. This
is an excellent source of nitrogen and helps to absorb water.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Small shredded materials decompose faster. Run your lawn mower over pine needles
or leaves and cut up kitchen scraps to speed the composting process.
